To boo or not to boo

[Niall_Quinn]

Nasri will never play, so no boos for him. Start booing when you find out what's really going on. I don't know if I'm becoming delusional myself but I believe less and less each day Wenger is behind this disastrous summer. Yes, he's behind last season's collapse, he has to carry the can for that. But it makes no sense whatsoever that having seen that collapse he would cut into the squad, flog the players and sit on his hands in the transfer market. It's his reputation that's going down the shitter with the club. Why is he going to do that? Why would he not "spend some fucking money" as an obvious solution? I smell Stan Kroenke and his stench is getting worse by the day. I think we may have landed ourselves the most miserly owner in the history of football. I mean after all, it's us!

So I think the "spend some fucking money" chants are good because they don't pin the blame solely on any one person. If they developed into, "Spend some fucking money Stan you tight cunt - or else fuck off and die you horrible shit bag yank fuck!", that would probably be okay, firm but not too personal, just the right balance.

boo the manager not the players.

If the manager put a team together that competed for trophies players would not want to leave whether or not money is their motivation.

I think thats all you can do is boo to show your frustration. Dont go with all the bullshit it dont help. The manager not willing to see what is obvious does not help either so BOO for all your worth.

Totally agree, was good to see a few Arsenal fans boing him last week when he arrived in Newcastle.

The manager and his attitude and policy is the problem, booing him makes sense.

[Unai Tea]

Nah, any outsider can see that the fans are only booing because they are frustrated. I dont see whhy any professional would be put off.

But yes, why are the fans frustrated? Would the cause of that, an apparent complete lack of ambition and a club seemingly in disarray, not cause some players at the higher levels to pause and consider whether the club is actually right for them? Yes, a smart player would have figured out some of the issues for themselves, boo'ing or not, but boo'ing drives the point home and that is, this club is not in a good place right now.

I don't really believe this, Wenger has always been tight...he's a man of principles and he sets a market value for a player and if a club wants more he won't buy him.

We've seen the sort of signings he's gone for, even when top players like VDV for example were available for good prices.

The guy is deluded, he lives in his own little world even blaming the press for making the fans react negatively........he just doesn't see the reality of the situation, moreover he's aways whining about richer clubs.

Wenger has either gone absolutely MENTAL, or something else is going on. My feeling is the latter.
I definitely don't think he is entirely to blame for this mess although he has to carry the can for other things like mental weakness and defensive disorganisation.

[Özim]

He's been making weird decisions for years, he's also been saying odd things for years...I think it's the former personally.

He even thinks 4th place is a "major trophy", it's comical.

[Darth Vela]

You do know he merely compared the difficulty of coming 4th with winning a trophy? It's a metaphor, look it up some time.

I dunno if Nasri is going to get booed but I think he's probably smart enough to know that the truth is out about how much he cares for the club so I doubt it'd bother him too much, even if he's playing, I think we'd get the exact same performance regardless of what the fans did, he doesn't care enough to take us into consideration.

Booing in general can make your feelings known about a particular performance and it's your prerogative to do whatever the hell you want but the kind of players I want here are the ones that take responsibility for their performances and the team, those are the guys that will feel booing more than the guys with egos who will just say to themselves 'yeah, Wenger has fucked this up, otherwise, why wouldn't I be scoring 40 goals a season?', they're the guys who will feel bad about the fans being disappointed and won't think about what Wenger did wrong but what they did wrong.

[Özim]

If you boo when Wenger arrives it's pretty clear who is getting booed, if you bring banners in with Wenger's name it will also be clear who's to blame.

He's had it far too easy for far too long IMO.

[Grebbo]

1. Nasri wont play.
2. Don't boo during the game but boo like fuck on the final whistle when we've lost. We need to force Wenger out.

I don't think that's how the players feel though, do they get booed when they win? It's pretty clear that the performances initiate the booing rather than anything else and if I was the kinda guy who wanted the club to do well and wanted to make the fans happy (i.e. the guys we all want at the club) I'd feel it more than the players who are the problem imo.

Ofc, I'm probably wrong and it's all far too romantic to actually think that players care about the club or the fans so no-one ever takes it to heart and they understand it's purely down to an issue with transfer policy.
